In this episode of The PACT podcast, we explore the complexities of Christian living and discipleship, particularly focusing on the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount. We discuss the paradox of mourning and happiness, emphasizing that while mourning reflects the brokenness of the world due to sin, it also leads to comfort through our relationship with God. We recognize that our mourning is not just about personal loss but encompasses the broader effects of sin in the world. Ultimately, we find joy and purpose in our faith, understanding that our experiences of sorrow can deepen our appreciation for the grace and redemption offered through Christ.
